Volunteering on Program Fiji is free of charge and we provide food and accommodation in return for all your hard work. Volunteers are responsible for getting themselves to the project, and they must have travel insurance if the program is not in their home country. There is no minimum amount of time you have to commit to and no special skills or previous experience required. We only ask for enthusiasm, and a strong work ethic.

About Program

All Hands Volunteers launched Program Fiji in response to Cyclone Winston, which ravaged the islands of Fiji on 20 February 2016. Winds of 250 km per hour and storm surges 12m high decimated entire villages and killed 44 people. This category 5 cyclone was the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in Fiji on record.

We are currently based in the Tailevu and Ra Provinces, which were two of the most affected areas. We have built/rehabilitated over 200 toilets and 30 showers in several villages to ensure safe access for all. We have been delivering temporary structures to impact the largest population. We have also started implementing more permanent structures in several areas.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with All Hands and Hearts for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.
